Question of: The Use of torture in criminal interrogation procedures
Country: United States Of America
Honorable chair and fellow delegates; the United States is extremely privileged to attend this conference. In the past few years, the United States and several allies have been fighting a campaign in Iraq as part of its war on terror. Many lives were lost, but after long, hard combat the US finally defeated dictator Saddam Hussein. After his removal, the United States has been working to rebuild Iraq into a democracy and soldiers have stayed behind to eliminate insurgents. However, the delegation from the United States feels that its progress in Iraq has come to the point where the Iraqi government can handle itself independently, as is needed for any strong democracy. Beginning in 2011, the United States will begin withdrawing its soldiers from its Iraq. It has faith in the Iraqi people and know that they will be able to become a healthy nation. Thank you.

Question Of: Promoting the human rights of the indigenous people of Oceania
Sponsor: Madagascar
Honorable chairperson and fellow delegates, Madagascar is honored to be here today. Madagascar feels that as Oceania's countries develop in technology and economic power, the rights of indigenous peoples there has become an important issue. Some of these people are being expelled from their own home lands where they have lived for thousands of years. These people are being unfairly discriminated and their rights are being abused. Madagascar thinks that a committee must be made focusing on restitution of lost lands. Madagascar hopes that we can find a solution to this and other problems at this conference. Thank you.
